The Flash Season 2 Episode 19 "Back to Normal" Review


A meta human with super strength named Griffin Grey mistakes Harry for Earth-1 Harrison Wells and kidnaps him, demanding that wells cure him from his current condition. Realising another brilliant Wells could Track Griffins Location, Barry asks Jesse to help. Meanwhile, Wally corners Joe About the Flash.

This was a really great episode that did a great job at showing how much Barry's life has changed since he has gotten his speed and how hard it is for him to go back to his old ways. I do wish that they would have shown a bit more of him having to go back to a normal life, but that being said they did do a good job at sprinkling in the change here and there. Like one moment is when he is fighting against Griffin and he gets hurt and he actually can feel the pain like a lot. Griffin's whole character was really interesting for that fact that they finally showed a meta-human with a negative to all the positives of him having super strength. I still don't really understand Griffin's whole plan though because I think if Harrison had made a cure to all the mutations he would have shared that, so then forcing Harry to come up with a cure that doesn't exist seems really weird to me. Jesse was really great in this episode, but she also seemed so much like a plot hole fixer because whenever the rest of the group couldn't do something it turned out Jesse was an expert at it. Or just other things involving Jesse seemed just so in there to move the plot forward. Overall this was a really great and interesting episode to throw in there.
